It was a huge blue team crest.

That's right, they came to Manchester City's training base.

At this time, the three remembered that the training bases of Manchester City and Manchester United are called Carrington Training Base.

It's a super oolong.

However, since he has come to Manchester City's training base, it is not far from Manchester United's training base.

After inquiring about it, I learned that Manchester United's training base was in the middle of the room.

Breathe a sigh of relief.

The trio made their way along a secluded cedar road.

A few minutes later, an equally majestic building leaped into view, with the red team emblem hanging high, letting José know that he had finally come to the right place.

Teacher Wang You did not look for a doorman again this time, but asked Xia Guoyong to take out his newly bought Nokia mobile phone and call Lawlor Scout directly.

A few minutes later, at the gates of United's training base, Jose met Jim Lawler scout again.

"My little Jose, why did you get here on your own?" Lawler hugged José warmly.

At this time, Jose learned that the club had a special car for pick-up.

Lawler's scout first took José to the base hotel to rest, and told José to arrange for him to have a tryout when he was rested.

The day after José arrived, Li Feng also arrived.

However, the two did not communicate much.

Li Feng is still obsessed with Jose.

In the same way, Jose has a vague feeling that this will be another confrontation between him and Li Feng.

After two days of rest and recovery in the hotel, Lawler finally came to take them to the training base for a tryout.

Teacher Wang You did not follow Jose's side, because after this period of study, Jose was already able to communicate simply.

There are a lot of tryouts, and they are very strict.

Jose's stats are also excellent in all aspects, except for ball control at his feet.

However, as a goalkeeper, the possession of the ball is a little bit close, and it doesn't matter much.

In the end, Jose got an A grade.

Because of his excellence, the British assistant coach, who was originally arrogant, also showed a slight smile when he saw Jose's results.

What is surprising is that Li Feng also passed the trial test, although it was only B+, but it was also passed.

For young players, the standard of passing the trial is much lower.

"You're all from China?" The British assistant asked Jose and Jose as he looked at the report card.

"Yes."

"You're all okay, but due to the limited number of youth spots, you can only have one person to stay, and it's up to Mr. Wardwood to decide who will stay. Go back and wait for news. After the teaching assistant finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Hearing the words of the British assistant teacher, Joseton felt bad.

Back at the hotel, Jose told Xia Guoyong what the assistant coach said.

After listening to Jose's words, Xia Guoyong sighed: "Alas, the limited number of places is just an excuse, in the final analysis, the football level in Huaxia is limited, and people don't believe that we will have a genius at all." I hope you're the one you choose. ”

José nodded, not speaking.

The feeling of being controlled by someone else is really uncomfortable.

……

While Jose waited for the results, the British assistant took Jose's report cards and knocked on Ed Wardwood's office door.

Ed Wardwood, known as Sandezi by Chinese netizens, is the face of the Glazer family at Manchester United.

Wardwood is a great commercial wizard, but because of that, he tends to favor players who are more commercially effective when selecting players.

Some fans joked that Manchester United's decline in results was largely related to Wardwood's over-emphasis on business.

When the British assistant walked into the vice president's office, he saw Wardwood sitting behind his desk, seemingly busy with work.

"Mr. President, two youth players from Huaxia have come and sent them for you to decide." The British teaching assistant keeps the transcript on the desk.

"Striker, goalkeeper, keep this striker." Wardwood made the decision in an instant with a brief glance at the report card.

Hearing Sandezi's words, Assistant Coach Daying was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly: "Mr. President, this goalkeeper Jose's results are obviously better, why don't you keep him?" ”

"Okay? How good can it be? Better than David De Gea? Sandezi glared at the British assistant teacher.

"Not really."

"That's right, you don't think that Huaxia environment can produce any talented players, right?"

Hearing Sandezi's words, the British assistant couldn't refute it for a while.

"The fundamental purpose of our absorption of Chinese players is only to develop the Chinese market, in this case, why don't we choose strikers with high attention?"

Sandezi's words were very reasonable, and the assistant teacher of Daying said no more, turned around and retreated.

José learned of his defeat at the hotel.

At that moment, he felt like the sky was going to fall.

It was not easy to get the support of my parents, but it turned out to be so unbearable.

"Teacher, I'm ......"

Jose looked at Xia Guoyong, full of guilt.

"Kid, it's not your fault."

With Xia Guoyong's experience, he vaguely guessed the reason for Jose's defeat.

It's like that, the forward player just has a higher level of attention than the defender.

People can look at the midfielders of each team, but they don't care about the defenders and goalkeepers.

José did not cry, despite the extreme sadness in his heart.

"Pack your things and get ready to go back." Xia Guoyong said helplessly to Teacher Wang You.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

It's Jim Lawler who comes.

"Mr. Lawler......"

Xia Guoyong was thinking about what to say when Lawler interrupted him.

"I know, it's all Wardwood, he knows a ball, and he actually gave me a refund of the person I was looking for."

There was a hint of resentment in Lawler's words.

Jim Lawler is a veteran scout for Manchester United, having joined United in '05 and having worked alongside Ferguson, his recommendation for players has always been high.

This time he was a rare sight to be optimistic about a player, only to be rejected by Wardwood, citing the lack of attention from the goalkeeper.

"Thank you, Mr. Lawler, I ......"

José looked at Jim Lawler gratefully, but he couldn't speak.

"Little Jose, don't get excited, you sit down first, let me think about it." After Lawler finished speaking, he held his forehead and thought about it.

After a long time, Xia Guoyong couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lawler, does he really have no chance?" ”

"It's impossible to join Manchester United, but ......," Lawler said again.

Seeing Lawler's expression, Xia Guoyong couldn't help but ask: "But what?" Mr. Lawler, just say it. ”

"Jose Jr., do you really want to stay in the UK?" Lawler asked.

"Hmm." Jose nodded heavily.

As long as he can stay here and play, even if it costs something, he doesn't care.

"Manchester United is impossible, but I can use my personal connections to help you find a place to go."

"What do I have to give?" Jose asked.

Jose knows that Jim Lawler is purely British, and they are not going to be zealous to help a person for no reason.

"As long as you promise me one condition."

"On what terms?"
